its not about steet racing its about being faster than: bmw 530, bmw 330 (2004), infiniti g35, clk 320 and all these cars, on the drag race from stoplight to stoplight.

Your better off buying those cars.

i truly believe tl is faster then all these cars. except g35.

temo_O

not believe but i know it.
i havent raced with g35 and 330
530 and 320 totally are off the race.
have you tried your tl with those cars?

temo_O

and i guess i should forget the ECU tuning?

anything except J&R available for tuning?

Tuning your car comes after you have supporting mods, full exhaust (catback,jpipe,pcd), intake, tbs, ur pulley blah blah blah

Its not like a 335 where you tune it right off the dealership line and get 400whp, our cars just dont work like that.

My car is 270hp. Adding intake 15hp, exhaust adds 10hp, Jpipe adds me 20hp, PCD's gets me 15hp. With all these parts, I'm sitting at 330hp. Should be Fast TL then. " Perdormance mods ftw".

^258 hp, based on the new SAE measurement standard for horsepower and 233 lb·ft of torque.

Who races their BMW 530 anyway? They're mid to upper 15 second cars that are driven by mostly people who are over 55. I know a lot of people feel the same way about the TL, but the 530 is slower and much less likely to be modded.

Yes type-s

Took out all the paperweight(manuals, cables, money, anything removable not from the factory) out of the cabin.
Spare tire and tools gone. Doing the matting/lining out of the trunk, completely empty.
Filling up max, 3 gallons of gas at a time.

Probably going to work on removing the back seat next.

Wait, I'm thinking of the 528. I don't even think they make a 530. The 535 has the TT 3 liter, but it's heavier than the 335. 535 is about on par with a Type S 6MT, maybe a bit quicker.

If you are so concerned about racing stoplight to stoplight, which screams "teenager" by the way, why did you get a fwd TL? You should have gotten an awd turbo or rwd at least; something with low end torque. Don't try and make the car be something it is not.

I hate cars

I've raced those "10 second" Civics on the street from a dig and from a roll. On street tires they just spin even at 60mph. It's not likely one of those 10 second Civics will do better than high 12s on the street. Honestly I couldn't tell the difference when I was racing them vs racing a stock Mustang, it was not close.

Exactly. It's not to say FWD cars can't be made to go fast, but all else being equal, they'd be heaps quicker if they were RWD or AWD.
